Hi!
Right now I'm using Auctiva program for the past 3 years, but I am thinking of changing back to Vendio which I used in 1999 till 2002 I left (auction Watch) Vendio because the rates had gone up a lot and I found that Auctiva was reasonable for what I do. I was paying $114.00 a year for unlimited usage for listing and for picture hosting.
But now Auctiva has changed things so much that if I am going to pay much more I could maybe use Vendio again...........But my problem is which plan would be best for me, this I can't seem to decide.
Maybe some of you that use Vendio can guide me with some advice.
I list aprox under 50 auctions in a good week, I use 3 or more pictures in each auction..................
I only need a program for my listing and for my pictures.
I don't need a spread sheet, I don't need any emails through Vendio. I don't need a store.............I ONLY need Vendio for listing and hosting my pictures on Ebay.
I have checked all the plans and I am confused as to which one is best for what I do. Maybe some of you do as I do and can tell me which plan has been working well for you. I need to decide before April 1st.

I think it depends on the $ amount of your sales. There are different kinds of Power Plans - some with listing fees, some without, some with final value fees, some without. On sales of $5000/month you would pay Vendio $29.95 base + $65 FVF (less than $100) for unlimited number of listings and images under the Variable Power Plan ( Vendio recommends this for more than 300 listing/average unit sales under $30. )Another plan may be better - you should take a "My Account->My Payment Plan->see other plans

Sign up for the standard plan. After you get your first invoice for a typical month, compare it to what it would have been under their other plans.
The light at the end of the tunnel will turn out to be an oncoming train.

As usual here, I agree with Sparkz! You can always switch. I list maybe 20 auctions a week and LOTS of photos per auction. My bill, including 1% of selling price, is usually around $15.00 a month. So I have the basic Sales Manager plan. This may or may not work for you, but try it for a bit and see.
Edited to add: I too did not want the bells and whistles, just free photo hosting. And I like seeing all my auctions so clearly on Vendio's page compared with My Ebay.

I have the basic plan also. 15-20 auctions a week with 1% Final Value fee most times it is around $12.00. Depending on sales could be higher or lower.

I started on the standard plan, and am now on the Variable Power Plan - for me, it works great and is much more cost efficient than the standard plan was.
Roadsmith and Libra - I am sooo envious of your monthly Vendio bills!!
